I'm lucky enough to live in London, which is a boiling pot of every kind of language and background and demographic and sexuality and gender, and yet most of what we're seeing in the cinema is not reflective of that. ”

Black Mirror,' now being on Netflix, can reach all kinds of different people all over the world - with the help of the Internet, rather ironically. ”

Hiding behind a tougher outer image as a teenager feels cooler and safer compared to admitting, perhaps, that you're the very opposite. ”

I don't know if it's a consequence of 'Black Mirror,' but I am slowly becoming more and more technophobic. ”

I love being scared, and I always have done. When I was younger, I was always reading books about the paranormal, UFOs, and crop circles. I liked the idea of people seeing faces in walls and twins that could communicate with each other telepathically. I really believed it, too! ”

I love period drama as much as the next person, but there's a tendency to let all of the costume get in the way of the people. ”

If I'm being honest, yes, I've always been into the underdog instead of the golden boy or guy with the easy life. It doesn't seem that dramatic from a storied perspective to play someone that has it easy or is incredibly normal. ”

We have something very powerful in our hands with the Internet, and we still don't really understand fully its power. ”

My dream really is just to keep working in film and in theatre. ”

One of the things I'll always remember from my time with 'Black Mirror' is the sense of all the tongue and cheek, and very, very dark sense of comedy there, too. ”
